THE 2005 RATING LIST IS CLOSING …. HOW DOES FIVE YEARS OF RATE REFUNDS APPEAL?!!

Professional Services News

The forthcoming 2010 Rating Valuation means that the current Rateable Value of your premises is only active until 31 March 2010, at which point five years of paying rates based upon the present Rateable Value of your premises will come to an end – with uncertainty remaining over the how much you will have to pay from 1^st April 2010.

One thing that is certain is that if you have not challenged your Rateable Value since 1^st April 2005, we can do so on your behalf with any reduction in your Rateable Value resulting in backdated payments to yourselves to 1 April 2005.  It is also worth considering any reductions in the 2005 Rating List may result in direct savings in the 2010 Rating List!

Even if you have not occupied your property since 1^st April 2005, any reduction in rates payable will result in a  refund in anything you have overpaid since you first occupied your property – and in the present financial markets any cash coming back into your bottom line has got to be attractive!!
